Having evolved from the longstanding PPC
Young Concrete Sculptor Awards, the PPC
Imaginarium encourages artists and designers to create and express their abilities using Portland cement – based concrete as a primary base or material. The competition will feature six disciplines in the arts and design fields. These disciplines are sculpture, jewellery, architecture, film, industrial design and fashion design.
Boasting prize money to the value of half a million Rand, each category winner stands a chance to win R50 000; while runner-up contestants receive R15 000. The overall competition winner will receive the grand prize of R100 000 at the winners’ exhibition in 2016.
